Either I'd have less to say and the rest of the page stood blank; or I have run-on sentences that just wouldn't stop. Eventually I purchased blank books and wrote in them. Then, as I found more and more of my handmade paper in single sheets leftover from other book projects, I put them to good use. I made small pamphlet stitched books I could journal in. These days I’m also making art journals that I collage in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5af88f071137a6aac6766150/841723db-56e4-48d3-a6c2-b6232957107f/IMG_3462.JPG Home Cooking plant fiber for papermaking. The strength of paper made with plant fiber depends on the amount of cellulose in that plant. Cotton works so well because it is almost all cellulose; and, because of this, you don’t have to cook the fiber before forming sheets. Some of the plant fiber I have used to make paper are: milkweed, cattail, corn husk, onion skin, daylily, iris, maple leaf, pineapple tops, and kozo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5af88f071137a6aac6766150/552d11a6-f0e8-4496-8e26-3bbea631e2cd/IMG_7275.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5af88f071137a6aac6766150/32a6ff5d-9d26-4b00-9242-c88271ea1b72/IMG_4650.jpeg Home - The Circus in Syllables I participated, unofficially, in Instagram’s #100dayproject for the years 2023-25. I wrote Haiku daily for 100 days during the years 2023 and 2025. I wrote 100 Cinquains in the year 2025. As I looked at them I realized that many were in response to the Political Landscape of the time. I decided to make a small varied edition of 4 of these poems. The Haiku and Cinquain are dependent on syllables per line, which I followed. The text paper is handmade by me. The accordion fold base is card stock that I gel printed in the style of Sean Scully. “The Circus of Syllables” (c) 2026 Nancee Wipperfurth Killoran https://nanceemarie.com/photography daily 0.75 2024-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5af88f071137a6aac6766150/1526971041954-DUDLYH5JBSYCKRBA17X2/waspnest.jpeg Sidekick The wasps made paper nests in my neighborhood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5af88f071137a6aac6766150/a6eabd2b-09bb-4f77-a80d-452205d2a51d/DSC_0931.jpeg Sidekick My backyard in winter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5af88f071137a6aac6766150/1526971169498-EMSYB0DN008U5A7HF2IT/Turkey.jpeg Sidekick Wild turkeys visited my yard every day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5af88f071137a6aac6766150/2b1f216f-d5fc-46d2-9ea5-cf04c27d083d/DSC_0523.jpeg Sidekick As an elementary school newsletter editor, I took photos at assemblies for the publication. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5af88f071137a6aac6766150/924a4daa-8880-476f-b396-e88957b3fb40/DSC_0169.jpg Sidekick I moved across the country to a new state and found this fall scenery in the mountains. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5af88f071137a6aac6766150/1526971082068-6CUT3P5LG5TDWGA3O3TO/Full+Harvest+Moon.jpeg Sidekick The moon has always impressed me with its changing shapes based on its movement across the sky. https://nanceemarie.com/art-work daily 0.75 2024-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5af88f071137a6aac6766150/1526864648891-BPREVA01CTL9991QZFHQ/DSCN1501.JPG The Epiphany of Art https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5af88f071137a6aac6766150/742c5de6-82e6-4077-8aa6-62f5f796fea7/IMG_2220.jpg The Epiphany of Art 100 Haiku https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5af88f071137a6aac6766150/1526864737365-MCPK4SGLK7WAPOC0INSL/DSCN1286.JPG The Epiphany of Art
